'Joey's Blog': LLAO LLAO

Showing posts with label LLAO LLAO. Show all posts

Days where I'm looking forward to will be on the Friday. I met up with two of my closest SKSS netballers for dinner. Oh well, these two faces might not be any stranger to you. They always appear in my blogposts.

And welcome back Wendy choo from taiwan and thanks for agitating me with her vacation stories. ;D Just kidding but im so envy to those who went Taiwan before. Still.. counting when will be my turn ):

Anyway, we had Astons for dinner at Scape. Scape was so well-furnished right now. They even opened a Cat Cafe there which one has to pay $20 for admission. This admission fees doesn't include food and beverages. So it means you have to set another budget in order to fill your tummy.

What I love about astons: Big portion, good food and affordable price. Most of their main dishes falls under the range of $8.90-$10. The main dish comes with two portion of side dishes ( you can choose the cold or hot dishes) of your preference.

Wendy and Stella got the best deal. Their fried chicken set meal came with a bottle of snapple which cost only $10. While the two girls had their set meal, I sticked to my all time lemon-lime chicken ala-carte,

Happy girl received red velvet cake in the bottle from Stella. She knows that I love red velvet and Wendy loves Strawberry short cake! She ordered these two cakes from her friend's mum who owes a bakery shop. I can't remember what is the name of the bakery shop though but the cake just taste so good. Perhaps I will ask Stella for the address again.

Wendy had a strong craving of llao llao so back again. we are here to queue for this over-hyped yogurt in town. While she ordered sanum, both Stella and I share a medium cup of yogurt. Oh well, you can choose 3 items from this medium cup too! A satisfaction made when I had their white chocolate syrup while Wendy had her coconut syrup (:

This is what we do while waiting for our yogurt. We cam-whored like mad and I even got myself a $6 fish eye lens from cineleisure. HAHA.

Coincidentally bumped into Xiao ting while we were purchasing our fish eye lens. So nice to see her around (:

Till then.

One of the evening spent with Jue Yu to shop for M's birthday gift. We headed over to Orchard with the mind of what to get for him. Guy's gift aren't hard to decide since they have minimize it to the least. Guy's cologne? Wallet? Shirt? These are the common gifts that girls will get for a guy friend. Unless you are telling me that you are purchasing for your boyfriend? That would be a different story.

We went over to Far East Plaza to look for cologne as we feel that a man needs a bottle of nice cologne to woo girls. As a single man like him who is still serving army, more or less he should need it to charm all the girls on weekend. Hahaha, Just kidding! He's personnel is a bonus!

Anyway, we went into several shops to check out their price. The first shop that we went in gave us a fixed price for 100ml of Mont Blanc Black cologne. Lucky we held on till we found the second shop which costs so much cheaper (aunty mood on) and therefore we left the shop with a happy note,

We were thinking where to go next and I was asking JY if she has tried llao llao before. Her answer was NO! So I decided to bring her over to try.

Here we are at somerset 313 llao llao and surprisingly the queue wasn't long like what I have queued with Amelia the previous week.

20 mins later and I got my llao llao. This time round, I had one whole cup of my own. Hehehe, I chose 3 fruits (watermelon + Melon + Banana) with Oreo as my crunch! I wanted to try their white chocolate syrup so badly so I decided on that.

While Jue yu had her Mango + watermelon + melon with fruity pebbles as her crunch. She opted dark chocolate syrup,

A thumbs up for the best yogurt in Singapore. You may find me coming back more often now. I really don't mind about the queue. HAHA!

Till then.

On Thursday, I met up dear Amelia for dinner and we decided to opt for Marche.

I really adore their decor, it is so fitting for the occasion. It gives one the idea of fresh, homecooked goodness in a chill atmosphere. Almost like a farmers’ market your mother’s kitchen and a cosy cafe all nestled into a brilliant package.

Even the dining area is adorable, it reminds me of Goldilocks and the three Bears. Maybe they purchased their furniture from the same shop?

Another unique thing about Marche is that every diner gets a Marche Guest Card which they can use to order the food they like. Contrary to what many people believe, Marche is not a buffet place. In fact, Marche is like a big food court where you can find many different types of food and beverage product offering and in order for you to place an order, all you have to do is just to present your Marche Guest Card and the kitchen staff will just log the order into your card. At the end of the day, you just need to PRESENT your Marche Guest Card to the cashier and the cashier will just processed your bill accordingly. This rather efficient cashiering system saves the hassle of splitting up bills after a meal, especially for group dining.

For a meat lover like me, I don't usually go for vegetables. But they look so fresh that I would really love to try it someday.

The drinks are already prepared and categorized on these barrels. So just grab & go!

The drinks are a little pricey in my opinion.

Here is a MUST-EAT at Marché: (Potato lovers, you're in for an awesome treat!)

Dessert booth is right at the corner and there are way too many choices to choose from. Every dessert make my mouth-watering.

Blackforest Ham Crepe ($13.90)

One of the MUST orders at Marche will be the crepes! They have loads of different options like chicken, ham, etc. For us, we selected the blackforest ham crepe! Comes with this mushroom like sauce and a small side salad. Super worth it and it’s really filling!

Rosti w black pepper sausage ($14.90)

Rosti is a Swiss dish consisting mainly of coarsely grated potato. This rosti is pan-fried, shaped by the pan. Its surface is slightly crisp; it was a very textured dish. The rosti at Marche is slightly more oiled and the potato strips were less packed, imagine sinking your teeth into those potato strips dashed in sour cream. This is definitely one of the must-eats in Marche. One can choose to add in sausage or eat it plain.

Mixed berries tart ($5.90)

This was one of the disappointing dessert that I have ordered. People like me who doesn't fancy sourness should not choose this. The berries are way too sour to my liking.

This is definitely not the first time I've been to Marché and I'm always excited about going! Even though it is not exactly very cheap, the food is very fresh and of very good quality. The best part is that there are no extra taxes so what you see on the boards is what you pay. I only had to pay $13.90 for my crepe, no 7% GST or 10% service charge! It is not that expensive after all. I would definitely be back whenever I'm craving some Swiss/French delight.

Thanks to my dear girl, she brought me over to try LLAO LLAO, the over-rated yogurt that was opened few months ago. Upon reaching, you can see long queue forming all the way to the lift. We took 45 mins to be able to get our yogurt. It was a long wait but the wait was worth it! I have never praised how much I love yogurt before but llao llao proved me wrong.

I went for the Sanum, which is the go-to choice for many people. It’s a yogurt parfait made with froyo, 3 generous amount of fruits, 2 crunchy toppings of your choice, finished off with a generous serving of sauce of your choice.

You have many sauces to choose from, as you can see above, from chocolate sauce for the chocoholics, to strawberry or peach sauce for the frutti-tutti lovers.
